A note regarding the readout on these batteries: if you see the battery percentage fluctuating, the battery is calibrating to provide you with the most accurate battery life read-out and has no effect on the functionality and run time of your battery/machine. Tier 1 grade battery used to make this power pack. After powering on, initial battery life display will take approximately 5 seconds to calibrate to an accurate read-out. You may notice the battery life adjust (increases or drops) between activation and pauses during sessions – this is because the battery calibration is reflecting the device’s current usage scenario. Note the percentage difference may be more noticeable on the Shorty batteries due to the smaller battery capacity.
